With the new generation starting to pick up steam with Tsuji being champ and the semi-finals of the NJC consisting exclusively of the new generation, I was wondering where does ZSJ fit in as a singles competitor?
He's currently the most accomplished wrestler on the roster not in a "New Japan Dad" role, and is the leader of a faction.
I can't speak for the local Japanese fanbase, but reading here the idea of Zack winning another Heavyweight title ahead of the list of New Generation talent like Yuya, Shota and Oiwa seems to be an unpopular decision. And with Newman getting a push to potentially be the main event gaijin heel, could that push Zack out of the main event completely?
Possibly a run with the Global akin to how Nakamura had a run with the Intercontinental is his future?
